Finally got around to building myself a PC again... It's been 13 years since I last built myself a half decent PC.

I might be able to retire the #XBox Series X & #PS5 now. 😜

I've called it the Armoury for no particular reason other than being a Royal Air Force Armourer 'veteran'.


And yeah, that is a mini nuke mushroom cloud in there... that's how powerful the CPU is 🤣

#AMD #Ryzen #7800x3d #Nvidia #4070Ti #MSI

Built around mostly MSI Parts, which just ended up that way... there was no particular drive to do it like this, but while it's not the most powerful machine on earth it's still a pretty capable little box and I'm pleased how it's turned out.

AMD Ryzen R7-7800x3d CPU
32Gb Corsair Vengence DDR5 (6000Mhz)
MSI MEG Coreliquid S360 AIO (with integrated LCD screen)
MSI MAG Tomahawk Wifi B650 Motherboard
MSI Nvidia RTX 4070Ti Gaming Trio GPU
MSI A850GL PCI5.0 ATX3.0 Modular PSU (with native 12vhpwr)
MSI Quietude 100 Mid Tower ATX Case
1 x Samsung 990 Pro M.2 Gen.4 NVME SSD (1TB)
2 x Samsung 990 Pro M.2 Gen.4 NVME SSD (2TB)

Aside from the 3x 120mm MSI Silent Gale intake fans on the 360mm rad, there's an additional 120mm Silent Gale as a rear extraction which is also supplemented by 2x 140mm BeQuiet! ARGB fans exhausting from the top (debating whether to bother changing the rear black Silent Gale for a 120mm BeQuiet! ARGB? - what do you think? Let me know in the comments...)

This isn't quiet the finished article in the video, I'm currently waiting on some custom modular psu cables (24pin ATX, 2x 8pin CPU, 1x 12vhpwr) from CableMods. They're individually sleaved orange/black.

I've also since added a GPU support strut with ARGB.

All the ARGB is controlled by MSI's Mystic Light in the MSI Center suite.
